Tabloid favourite Thomas Beatie towers benignly over visitors, tenderly cradling his pregnant belly like its some sort of immaculate conception. The marble portrait is resonant of the Virgin Mary or Michelangelo's David and its sheer size almost infantilises the viewer.

Similarly, niche transgender porn stars Allanah Starr and Buck Angel stand hand in hand, like a latter day Adam and Eve, striding out into their future as radically altered human beings.
